This book is full of fantastic ideas for entertaining with fun themed parties and accompanying recipes. I definitely want to try the party idea with a spread of homemade soft pretzels!

I love a good party so this book was a no brainer for me! There’s so many great recipes for each party idea. Also included were chefs tips that are so helpful.

Awesome parts:
* The recipes.
* The Tips
* Rental Ideas
* Tablescapes
* Game ideas (and how to literally make them in some cases)

Bad parts:
* The book ended. Bummer.

I loved this book.

Whether you are looking for a primer on how to throw a party or for some recipe inspiration for your next extravaganza look no further than 'Make Your Own Party'. Lewton is thorough in laying out all of the basic ambience related elements for a party and provides thoughtful menus for each theme. If you are new or seasoned to party planning this is a must book to add to your collection! The photos alone are sure to inspire but the recipes and chef's notes are what will make you stay. I know I cannot wait to have an excuse to make the Lemon Shortbread Hearts!

This is a very fun and helpful guide to having pretty parties! I am not the least but creative, and a frequently end up with disasters. Not after this guide! This will help you with everything for your next get together. It’s given me confidence to try again and to loosen up! The pictures and directions make everything easy to follow! I definitely recommend it!

Thank you to the publisher, Kelli Lewton, and Netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest thoughts!

If you like to entertain this is a book you need on your shelf. Chef Kelli gives you all kinds of hints and kitchen suggestions to help you entertain like a pro. There are all the usual parties Halloween, Thanksgiving, birthdays and even movie night ; but have you ever had an Oktoberfest or Unicorn party? If not you will know how to do it now.
The recipes include beautiful pictures and step by step directions with a very clear list of ingredients. There are chef's notes included with each recipe. There's even a few little simple crafts to use for your party. Tailgates are always one of my favorites and I am always looking for new food ideas to mix things up a little bit. There are some great recipes to add to your Saturday gamedays. And pie balls are going to be the next thing I try. Pumpkin pie balls sound wonderful. Perfect for those holiday meals when people want to sample all the deserts. And who doesn't love fondue.

I found many good ideas for party themes that I hadn't thought of before. The easy to make recipes looked delicious in the pictures. I have made the candied walnuts and have had a pretzel party bar so far. Pictures make the book, otherwise I wouldn't of had a clue how to put that pretzel party together.
